SUMMARY:Cristina Vane
DESCRIPTION:Cristina Vane blends blues\, rock\, bluegrass & old-time roots with slide guitar mastery and a fearless spirit shaped by life on the road. \n\n\n\n\nA fearless voice at the crossroads of blues\, rock\, and roots music. \nCristina Vane is more than a practitioner of her craft — she is a deeply committed musical storyteller whose artistry has been shaped by countless miles on the road and a lifetime of cultural exploration. Her third studio album\, Hear My Call\, represents the powerful convergence of experience\, identity\, and a growing catalog of songs that demand to be heard. \nBorn in the foothills of the Italian Alps and raised between Italy\, England\, and France\, Vane’s half American–half Guatemalan heritage echoes through her genre-defying sound. Classic rock energy and ‘90s indie textures blend seamlessly with prewar blues\, clawhammer banjo traditions\, country\, and bluegrass — creating music that feels both timeless and urgently alive. \nRolling Stone praised her early single “Badlands” as “evocative of a young Bonnie Raitt and early PJ Harvey — entrancing stuff.” \nA captivating vocalist and formidable multi-instrumentalist\, Cristina began writing songs in her teens before discovering the expressive power of slide guitar — a turning point that helped shape her unmistakable style. After graduating from Princeton\, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue music wholeheartedly\, studying fingerstyle guitar\, mastering banjo\, and busking on the Venice Boardwalk\, where she honed the commanding stage presence audiences know today. \nTrue to her independent spirit\, Cristina later crowdsourced her first national tour — the transformative Show Me Your Hometown Tour — spending six months living out of her car\, a tent\, and the kindness of strangers. That journey ultimately led her to Nashville\, where she recorded her debut album with Grammy-winning producer Cactus Moser. \nHer newest release was recorded with Brook Sutton at The Studio and features her touring band\, capturing the authentic energy of a nationally traveling artist. The album includes exciting co-writes with Mike Harris (Old Crow Medicine Show) and Silas Lowe\, along with guest appearances from Molly Tuttle\, JD Simo\, Kenny Vaughan\, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes\, and Brenna MacMillan. \nCristina’s touring résumé is equally impressive. She has provided direct support for artists including Molly Tuttle\, Bob Weir\, Jerry Douglas\, Wynonna Judd\, Sam Bush\, Nikki Lane\, Town Mountain\, Duane Betts\, Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band\, Arlo McKinley\, and Willi Carlisle. Her work has been recognized by Rolling Stone Country and NPR\, and she was featured in a national Bank of America campaign tied to Ken Burns’ landmark documentary Country Music. Festival appearances include Portland Blues Festival\, Under the Big Sky\, Four Corners Folk Festival\, and Rooster Walk — and she was an invited guest for Billy Strings’ String the Halls. \nYet for all the acclaim\, what defines Cristina Vane is her refusal to be boxed in. \n“I wanted the album to reflect who I am… I’m essentially a rock kid obsessed with old music. I’m slowly figuring out how to find my own voice within it. It is the sound of growing up.” \nOnstage\, she is electrifying — blending technical mastery with emotional honesty\, grit with grace\, and tradition with fearless originality. \nSAMPLE SONG \nFor fans of boundary-crossing roots music\, powerhouse musicianship\, and artists forging their own path\, this is a night not to miss. \nThis show is part of our Bright Series. These are fresh\, contemporary roots-based bands that are making waves on the national folk scene\, getting strong radio play\, charting\, releasing albums\, developing a strong following on social media\, touring hard\, and selling out venues. \nThe Bright Series is made possible by the generosity of Kevin and Claudia Bright. \nStream this show live at Caffè Lena TV. Livestream available for $5 – 100% of live stream tickets on CaffeLenaTV benefit the artists. Subscribe for unlimited live streaming\, two week access to recent shows\, and Caffe Lena’s video archive. \nNote: Caffe Lena does not permit ticket reselling above face value.

SUMMARY:Eastbound Jesus - Album Release Party (w/ Forest Station)
DESCRIPTION:Returning to Putnam Place\, Eastbound Jesus releases their new album “Hard To Get To Heaven” on May 9\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nSaturday May 9\, Upstate New York’s own Eastbound Jesus returns to the Putnam Place in Saratoga Springs to celebrate a new full-length album\, Hard To Get To Heaven\, recorded in the band’s barn practice space as the winter of 2025 settled over rural Washington County. Produced by the band alongside collaborator Jimi Woodul\, the album captures the raw chemistry that has defined Eastbound Jesus’s sound for years\, carrying the group into a second decade of making music together. The sessions embrace the grit and energy of the band’s Northern Rock style. The resulting record continues the band’s blend of Americana storytelling\, bluegrass instrumentation\, and road-tested rock and roll. By recording in their regular weekly practice space\, the band was able to slow down and experiment\, creating performances that feel both intimate and expansive. Hard To Get To Heaven showcases Eastbound Jesus’s signature high-energy roots sound while exploring deep and reflective songwriting—marking some of the band’s most thoughtful work to date.

SUMMARY:Sicard Hollow
DESCRIPTION:Come party with SICARD HOLLOW \n\n\n\n\nNashville’s psychedelic punk-grass rockers\, Sicard Hollow\, grew up sick of any existing institution telling them who and what to be. Now\, as they navigate adulthood\, they’re equally tired of the music institutions telling them what their music should sound like—so they dunked it in patchouli and a skate-and-destroy ethos that brings an enduring sound into the modern age.

SUMMARY:Iron & Wine (w/ Improvement Movement)
DESCRIPTION:Iron & Wine is the musical project of singer-songwriter Sam Beam. Born and raised in South Carolina\, Beam is a former film professor who got his start making home recordings before landing on Sub Pop Records. Iron & Wine’s 2002 debut\, The Creek Drank the Cradle garnered both critical and popular acclaim\, vaulting Beam into the spotlight of the burgeoning indie-folk/Americana scene as one of its new and leading voices. \nFor more than 20 years\, Iron & Wine has captured the emotion and imagination of listeners with distinctly cinematic songs. His recorded output includes seven full-length studio records\, collaborations with Calexico\, Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses)\, and Jesca Hoop\, countless EP’s\, singles and compilation/soundtrack appearances\, a live concert documentary\, and five GRAMMY nominations. \nIron & Wine’s latest record\, Light Verse was released in April 2024 with Paste Magazine noting “… Beam returns with an expanded sonic palette while also rekindling the bright spark that made 2007’s The Shepherd’s Dog so magical.”
